The first volume debuts Chapter 23: Die together!
Li Xuanfeng's attack was fruitless. Ignoring the numbness in his arm, he used the Youyun Step to quickly move away. One purpose was to avoid the attack of the snake-shaped spirit beast, and the other was to lead the snake-shaped spirit beast away from where his senior sister Shen Luoyan was.
The cultivation level of the snake-shaped spirit beast has reached the half-step spiritual foundation realm. Although Li Xuanfeng's speed is faster than that of the late stage of spiritual fusion due to his practice of the Youyun Step and the compression and condensation of spiritual power several times, he is still not as fast as this snake-shaped spirit beast.
After the close observation just now, Li Xuanfeng has recognized the snake-shaped spirit beast. This is a golden-scaled snake, a gold-attributed spirit beast with amazing attack and defense capabilities. And this golden-scaled snake, which is at the half-step spiritual foundation realm, has gained some kind of good fortune to have grown a horn with thunder attributes, which has increased its attack power by more than one level.
As Li Xuanfeng was leading the golden-scaled snake to escape, the distance between them was getting closer and closer, and the golden-scaled snake even ejected scales all over its body. Li Xuanfeng felt the crisis behind him, and condensed a flame cloak outside the golden spirit armor. Although the golden scales were weakened, melted and shrunken when passing through the flame armor, they still passed through the flame cloak and inserted into the golden spirit armor. Some scales even penetrated the golden spirit armor and pierced Li Xuanfeng's body.
Li Xuanfeng turned around with great pain, and with his right hand, he condensed a huge fireball and threw it at the golden-scaled snake. At the same time, the golden-scaled snake's horn flashed with lightning, and a beam of lightning instantly shot out towards Li Xuanfeng. After shooting out the lightning, the golden-scaled snake stopped moving forward and dodged to the side to avoid the fireball.
Because of the lightning, its body was a little slower and it did not completely avoid the fireball. However, for the golden-scaled snake that had already condensed golden scales again, the outer flames could not cause much damage.
This is the reason why the golden-scaled snake in the Half-Step Spirit Foundation Realm is much stronger than the one in the late stage of Spirit Fusion. The golden-scaled snake in the late stage of Spirit Fusion needs to spend some time practicing before it can grow scales again, while the golden-scaled snake in the Half-Step Spirit Foundation Realm can condense scales again in just a moment.
At this time, Li Xuanfeng was hit by the lightning of the golden scale snake. The flame armor was completely unable to block the lightning and hit the golden spirit armor directly. Although a lot of lightning was consumed by the golden spirit armor, the lightning transmitted to his body was still strong. Li Xuanfeng was instantly struck by the lightning and fell backwards. He felt a strong sense of dizziness, and the spiritual power of his whole body was disordered. The golden spirit armor instantly collapsed and disintegrated.
Li Xuanfeng knew clearly that he could not faint here, as the fireball would not be able to destroy the half-step spiritual foundation golden scale snake. Li Xuanfeng bit his tongue tip without hesitation to make himself a little more awake in the pain, and decisively took out two soul gathering pills from the storage bag and threw them directly into his mouth. The medicinal power of the soul gathering pills was instantly exerted, and Li Xuanfeng's whole body of spiritual power rolled like boiling water.
Li Xuanfeng, who was already able to retreat and break through to the late stage of Ling Rong at any time, increased his cultivation rapidly after taking the Ling Jue Pill. During the time when the golden-scaled snake was avoiding the fireball, Li Xuanfeng's cultivation quickly rushed towards the late stage of Ling Rong.
It’s a long story, but it only took less than ten breaths from the time the golden-scaled snake released its scales to the time Li Xuanfeng swallowed the Spirit Gathering Pill.
The golden-scaled snake was burned by the fireball and only suffered some superficial injuries, which could be basically ignored. When it attacked Li Xuanfeng again, Li Xuanfeng's cultivation level instantly broke through and entered the late stage of Ling Rong!
Not long after Li Xuanfeng fed her the Huiyuan Pill and set up a protective formation to protect her, Shen Luoyan woke up because her injuries had recovered a little. She was deeply moved to see her junior brother Li Xuanfeng taking the risk to save her, but she was more worried about him.
"Xuanfeng, run away quickly, don't worry about me, you can't beat this beast, just run away and inform my father to come and rescue me."
Shen Luoyan knew that Li Xuanfeng was only at the middle stage of Rongling, and was worried that he would be killed by the golden-scaled snake, so she shouted anxiously with all her might. Although her voice was weak due to the serious injury, Li Xuanfeng still heard it clearly.
Li Xuanfeng knew very well that his senior sister wanted him to escape and not die in vain, but how could he possibly abandon her? Even if he called his master, it would probably be too late.
If he was the cowardly type, he would not have rushed over to fight the golden-scaled snake after informing his master using the Jade Sound Transmission Talisman.
After conveying the message to his master, Li Xuanfeng did not relax at all. Instead, he concentrated all his mind and fought with the golden-scaled snake because he did not know when his master would arrive.
Because of his serious injuries, Shen Luoyan was unable to get up and fight with Li Xuanfeng. He could only lie on the ground helplessly and watch Li Xuanfeng struggling to fight the golden-scaled snake. He became even more anxious when he saw him being hit by the golden-scaled snake's lightning.
Seeing that Li Xuanfeng had no intention of listening to her and leaving , she had to try her best to condense her spiritual power and recover her combat effectiveness as soon as possible to help Li Xuanfeng.
Breaking through the late stage of the Lingrong Realm instantly restored a lot of the injuries on his body, and the strong dizziness caused by being hit by lightning was also weakened a lot. Li Xuanfeng was knocked away and fell right next to the Purple Destruction Stick.
Li Xuanfeng stood up again, his whole body surging with cultivation, holding the Purple Extinguishing Stick, and the Golden Spirit Armor and Flame Cloak condensed again. Breaking through to the late stage of the Rongling Realm has greatly improved Li Xuanfeng's combat power, and now he should be able to fight the Golden Scaled Snake.
Shen Luoyan was shocked to see his junior brother Li Xuanfeng break through again in battle, and this time it was more of a surprise. Breaking through to the late stage of Rong Ling meant that he would not be completely defeated by the golden-scaled snake again, and he had a greater chance of escaping. Shen Luoyan had never thought about the possibility of Li Xuanfeng defeating the golden-scaled snake.
Although the golden-scaled snake felt that Li Xuanfeng's cultivation had improved, it did not care much. For it, which was at the half-step spiritual foundation realm, the breakthrough to the late stage of the spiritual fusion realm was really nothing big, but this person was Li Xuanfeng!
The golden-scaled snake once again used its spiritual power to rush towards Li Xuanfeng quickly. When it got close, it stood up and opened its bloody mouth to swallow Li Xuanfeng. Li Xuanfeng quickly squatted down, condensed the golden spiritual arm armor, and held the purple extermination stick to hit the golden-scaled snake's abdomen hard.
The golden scales on the back of this golden-scaled snake have very high defense, while the defense on its abdomen is relatively much lower.
The golden-scaled snake was knocked to the ground by Li Xuanfeng's full-strength stick. Li Xuanfeng took advantage of the situation and rode on the golden-scaled snake, hitting it in the abdomen with several sticks. The golden-scaled snake began to go crazy in pain, and the horn on its head flashed with lightning again. Li Xuanfeng knew that something was wrong, but it was too late to dodge. Li Xuanfeng was extremely decisive and hugged the golden-scaled snake tightly.
The reason why he hugged the golden-scaled snake was, firstly, to avoid being knocked away again, and secondly, to test the idea that just flashed through his mind. He wanted to take a gamble and see if the golden-scaled snake's lightning would also harm itself.
It happened in a flash. The moment Li Xuanfeng hugged the golden-scaled snake, the golden-scaled snake's lightning hit Li Xuanfeng's golden spirit armor. Li Xuanfeng felt a strong sense of dizziness again, his spiritual power was disordered again, his golden spirit armor collapsed and disintegrated again, and he couldn't even hold the Purple Destroying Stick and it fell to the ground.
However, the feeling of dizziness this time was much weaker than the last time, because Li Xuanfeng's physical body was also greatly improved after breaking through the late stage of Ling Rong.
The golden-scaled snake's lightning was conducted through the golden spirit armor and transmitted to the golden-scaled snake itself!
Li Xuanfeng, who was dizzy, found that the golden-scaled snake did not attack him again at this moment. The snake's body was actually curled up. It was dizzy because of his own lightning!
Li Xuanfeng knew that the golden-scaled snake's dizziness would not last as long as his. After all, its cultivation was much higher and it was he who generated the lightning. If he let it recover first, the consequences would be disastrous.
Li Xuanfeng bit his tongue again without hesitation, this time even harder than last time, and blood even flowed out of the tip of his tongue! Because he had to race against time, otherwise he would be eaten by the golden-scaled snake.
Li Xuanfeng woke up instantly after biting his tongue, but his spiritual power was in disorder and he couldn't mobilize it in large quantities as he wished. Li Xuanfeng instantly took out a sharp knife from his storage bag and stabbed it hard into the three inches of the front of the golden-scaled snake!
Then he used all his strength to grab the knife and cut a hole. The golden-scaled snake instantly woke up from the pain, and its tail coiled around Li Xuanfeng and tightly wrapped around him. The golden scales pierced deeply into Li Xuanfeng's flesh, intending to strangle his body. It even opened its mouth wide and bit Li Xuanfeng's left shoulder, venom spurting out of its fangs!
Li Xuanfeng endured the pain in his body and the strong dizziness brought by the venom entering his body. He reached his right hand directly into the cut he had just made with the knife, groped towards the head and grabbed the spirit core of the golden-scaled snake. He used up his last bit of strength to pull it hard and pulled the spirit core out directly!
The golden-scaled snake that was wrapped around Li Xuanfeng lost its strength and its eyes instantly became blurred. Li Xuanfeng also completely lost consciousness at the same time, and his hands fell down powerlessly.
The last words I heard in a daze were Senior Sister Shen Luoyan shouting while crying.
"Xuanfeng, wake up, you must hold on!"
